IIABSC membership renewal invoices were emailed to the membership billing contact on record in  late November. Invoices can also be retrieved by anyone with the proper permissions through our Member InfoHub.  Details and directions below.

Payment is not due until Jan. 1. Agencies may pay by mailing a check or using the unique url on the invoice to pay online using bank draft or credit card.  Details and directions below.

Many agencies choose dues renewals as a great time to make a tax-deductible contribution to the IIABSC Foundation, which is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that provides support for the insurance industry in South Carolina by funding scholarships to CIC, Young Agents, Education Courses, InsurAcademy, College Scholarships for children of IIABSC members, and more. 

Contributions to the Foundation can be made in any amount via check or by credit card at iiabsc.com/foundation. Gifts can be designated as an honorary or memorial donation and options are available online to set up recurring monthly or annual contributions. All Foundation donors are acknowledged in our IIABSC quarterly magazine.  If you would like to make a Foundation contribution you can do so at iiabsc.com/foundation.

PAY ONLINE FROM DUES INVOICE

To pay online there is a unique URL on the invoice (under the Remit Payment section) that will connect directly to your invoice in our system. From invoice payment screen you can pay by bank draft or credit card using a saved payment profile or by adding a new one.

The quickest way to add a bank account is to click "Add Bank Account" button, and you will be directed to Stripe app and form. If your banking institution is listed for use then you simply need to select it from the list and enter your account username and password.

If you do not want to use Stripe, or your banking institution is not listed, then you can add it manually by clicking the "Enter bank details manually instead" link and you must enter the Routing Number, Account Number and then confirm the Account Number.

Using the unlisted method requires the account to be verified, meaning two small deposits will be made to and then debited from your bank account and you will need to later go back into your profile to enter those amounts into the Payment Profile form to verify the account.

Please note that IIABSC staff will not be able to access any of your saved payment account data other than the last four digits of your account number and expiration date, if applicable.
